Heartfelt Sentiments

I loved the design on the box pictured on the page with the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set on page 4 in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I used the box idea and made it into a card.
You can see product list I used for the card at the end of the post.

This stamp is so awesome!  It creates dimension with only one color of ink!

Cutting Dimensions

Crumb Cake:

  Card Base-5 1/2' x 8 1/2" (score at 4 1/4")

  Stamped Piece-5 1/4" x 4"

Night of Navy:

  Layer-5 3/8" x 4 1/8"

  Banner Piece-3/4" x 2 3/4"

Using the Heartfelt Blooms floral stamp and a Crumb Cake Stampin' Pad I stamped 4 times on a piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock.

The stamped piece was layered with a piece of Night of Navy Cardstock on a base of Crumb Cake Cardstock.

1/2" Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon was wrapped around the layered pieces before adhering to the card base. 

I used the Thank You sentiment from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set for my sentiment. It was stamped using a Versamark Pad and heat embossed using White Stampin' Emboss Powder on Night of Navy Cardstock.  Wiping the cardstock with an Embossing Buddy before heat embossing helps prevent stray pieces of embossing powder from sticking to your cardstock.

I used Paper Snips to flag the ends of the sentiment banner and the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch to punch a hole in the opposite end. Using Linen Thread I attached the banner piece over the knot on the Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon.

One Big Meaning Dragonflies

This is one of those cards that as soon as I saw it I knew I had to CASE it!  I love the way the dragonfly wings shimmer with the addition of the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!  The original card was made by Cynthia Millan of stampwithcynthia.blogspot.com.

I liked her card so much that the only changes I made was layering a Whisper White panel on an Elegant Eggplant base and the addition of Basic Jewels Rhinestones.

I went with a simple inside and left it blank so that I can write a note or stamp a sentiment when I want to use the card. I also added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the inside dragon fly.
